The queue GI/G/1: Finite moments of the cycle variables and uniform rates of convergence (Q760102)

A GI/G/1 queue is studied. The author considers two types of processes associated with a description of a queue: time dependent process and customer dependent process. For the time dependent process the delay is defined as the time of the first arrival to an idle system and the recurrence times (cycle variables) are the successive busy times. For the customer dependent process the delay is the number of the first customer finding the system idle and recurrence times (cycle variables) are the total number of customers arriving during a busy period. The author asks under what initial conditions and conditions on arrival and service processes these delays and cycle variables have geometric finite moments and so-called \(\phi\) moments, where \(\phi (x)=x^ n\phi_ 0(x)\), n is integer and \(\phi_ 0\) is concave. This also yields ergodic results for time and customer dependent processes.
